I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Inspire Brands in Mar 2024
Interview
I had a phone screen with recruiter, initial conversation with hiring manager and then a final round with three separate people. Each round took about a week and I heard back to schedule the next interview within 3-5 days. All in all it took around 3 weeks but I know that it usually takes longer.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you found a nugget of data and how you used it?
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Inspire Brands in Apr 2022
Interview
The interview process itself was straight-forward--conversational and pleasant. I first spoke to HR briefly, then the hiring manager for the position, and finally a third round with a Director. All of these interviews happened within 2 weeks, so I was pleased with the pacing and responsiveness.
After the third interview, I waited a week before reaching out to HR to thank them for their time and inquire on the status of the role. When I got no response, I waited another week and followed up with a phone call (had to leave a message). My email/call were never returned, and the only response I got was an automated rejection notice about 5 weeks after my third interview.
I was disappointed and surprised at how they handled their decision not to move forward with my application, especially since I'd had a good experience up to that point. Ultimately I just felt it was not handled professionally, or even politely.

Question 1
Typical experience and behavior based questions. I would encourage candidates to come prepared with questions for them, as they seemed to be looking for a robust two-way conversation and for people who can demonstrate industry/company knowledge.
